I didn't bother with the upper rears in my comp golf. I spose it would tighten the body maybe but as far as suspension geometry the rear towers dont have a lot to do to keep the suspension from flexing. If you put rods with rosejoints from the lower shocker bolts to the beam, I think that would be better. However, you then have an exhaust clearance problem. The rear suspensions on a lot of competition golfs are gusseted to strengthen and to minimize flexing.
However, when people drive RSI Beetles sideways into curbs as in targa a few years ago it makes repairs 200% harder!!! I am glad Paul Stokell got a good nights sleep that night!
Definately the front can be improved with upper and lower braces. Well worth it
